  • A Perfect Circle - Judith - With Lyrics
    -----
    You're such an inspiration for the ways that I will never ever choose to be
    Oh so many ways for me to show you how your savior has abandoned you
    Fuck your god
    Your lord, your Christ
    He did this
    Took all you had and
    Left you this way
    Still you pray, never stray, never
    Taste of the fruit
    Never thought to question why
    It's not like you killed someone
    It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
    Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed
    He did it all for you
    He did it all for you
    Oh so many ways for me to show you how your dogma has abandoned you
    Pray
    To your Christ, to your god
    Never taste of the fruit
    Never stray, never break, never
    Choke on a lie
    Even though he's the one who
    Did this to you
    Never thought to question why
    It's not like you killed someone
    It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
    Talk to Jesus Christ as if He knows the reasons why
    He did it all for you
    He did it all for you
    He did it all for you

    This was before 10,000 days. Maynard wrote this song for his religious mother who was handicapped in a wheel chair. His mothers name was "Judith". She eventually died after 10,000 days of being handicapped, that's when he wrote that album with Tool. Which is unbelievably amazing and so heart wrenching.

    The Most High's will is never bad. It may be harsh, but its never bad. There's a reason for all of it. Im sure his mother is seeing things more beautiful than he could imagine. My mother passed from health illnesses as well. It was hard, but i know The Most High has her.
    What his son went through for us, was indeed for us. And didn't have to, he saw the bigger picture. If he indured, we must. Through hom we can. To ask him why is ok, many in the Bible have. To be blasphemous is another. Just hold on yall. Get closer to hom and hold on. 🙌🏾

    Wow. Back in the day I just thought that this was your average angry alt/post metal track. Good but I didn't really consider it very much. But upon listening and understanding the lyrics now, this track isn't angry more than it is painfully sad. The mournful lyrical content and pained delivery (what I mistook for basic anger) actually gave me some feels upon revisiting this track. I wish i would have given it the time of day back then.

    I used to be a Catholic person, go to church every Sunday and sometimes on Wednesday as well. I was diagnosed with Syringomyelia and that changed all of it. I used to think this song was blasphemy and evil. I now understand that was wrong, this so called God took everything from me. I live in pain every single day and have to take 16 different medications three times a day. I have been made to feel as if I am an evil person because I have to take narcotic pain killers to just be able to walk. Today when I hear this song, it now makes sense and I could not agree with Maynard more. The line in the song, "He did this" is hitting the nail on the head.

      ​@Cristina-rj6kz do I think God singled me out and said "you will have a chronic and debilitating disease." Most decidedly....'No'. Maybe I didn't explain my position on how I feel about the entire situation. I agree with Maynard in the sense that when yourself or a loved one is hurting beyond imagination it is easy blame someone else. It it also difficult at times to fully grasp if God is such a loving God why would he do these things. Granted I may not go to church as much anymore but I do thank God that he gives me another day to live on this planet and enjoy the things he jas put here. I can say continual pain does very strange things to the brain. Even though I have to wake up at 3am everyday to take medication so that I can get out of bed 90 mins later and not scream in pain is still another day that I am thankful to be alive.

La letra de esta canción refleja cómo se sintió él acerca de toda la situación y le CUESTIONA A ELLA: que era una buena persona que creía en DIOS y, sin embargo, ¿así se le "agradeció"?. En pocas palabras se refiere a la "FE CIEGA". El video fue dirigido por David Fincher: Se7en (1995), Fight Club (1999) y otras 😌. 🤘🏿ULTRAMEGAROLOTA🤘🏿19/04/2021

      When the earth was still flat,
      And the clouds made of fire,
      And mountains stretched up to the sky,
      Sometimes higher,
      Folks roamed the earth
      Like big rolling kegs.
      They had two sets of arms.
      They had two sets of legs.
      They had two faces peering
      Out of one giant head
      So they could watch all around them
      As they talked; while they read.
      And they never knew nothing of love.
      It was before the origin of love.
      The origin of love
      And there were three sexes then,
      One that looked like two men
      Glued up back to back,
      Called the children of the sun.
      And similar in shape and girth
      Were the children of the earth.
      They looked like two girls
      Rolled up in one.
      And the children of the moon
      Were like a fork shoved on a spoon.
      They were part sun, part earth
      Part daughter, part son.
      The origin of love
      Now the gods grew quite scared
      Of our strength and defiance
      And Thor said,
      "I'm gonna kill them all
      With my hammer,
      Like I killed the giants."
      And Zeus said, "No,
      You better let me
      Use my lightening, like scissors,
      Like I cut the legs off the whales
      And dinosaurs into lizards."
      Then he grabbed up some bolts
      And he let out a laugh,
      Said, "I'll split them right down the middle.
      Gonna cut them right up in half."
      And then storm clouds gathered above
      Into great balls of fire
      And then fire shot down
      From the sky in bolts
      Like shining blades
      Of a knife.
      And it ripped
      Right through the flesh
      Of the children of the sun
      And the moon
      And the earth.
      And some Indian god
      Sewed the wound up into a hole,
      Pulled it round to our belly
      To remind us of the price we pay.
      And Osiris and the gods of the Nile
      Gathered up a big storm
      To blow a hurricane,
      To scatter us away,
      In a flood of wind and rain,
      And a sea of tidal waves,
      To wash us all away,
      And if we don't behave
      They'll cut us down again
      And we'll be hopping round on one foot
      And looking through one eye.
      Last time I saw you
      We had just split in two.
      You were looking at me.
      I was looking at you.
      You had a way so familiar,
      But I could not recognize,
      Cause you had blood on your face;
      I had blood in my eyes.
      But I could swear by your expression
      That the pain down in your soul
      Was the same as the one down in mine.
      That's the pain,
      Cuts a straight line
      Down through the heart;
      We called it love.
      So we wrapped our arms around each other,
      Trying to shove ourselves back together.
      We were making love,
      Making love.
      It was a cold dark evening,
      Such a long time ago,
      When by the mighty hand of Jove,
      It was the sad story
      How we became
      Lonely two-legged creatures,
      It's the story of
      The origin of love.
      That's the origin of love.

    I watched my mom die in a week after her doctors told her she had no chance. I know it is ridiculous maybe but after she passed I listened to this song for a month straight to help me to deal and it did help. It is too bad that Maynard hates when fans tell him that he is amazing or that he helped them get through a hard time in life. I would never tell him that but I have had some shitty things in life and it has always been Tool or APC THAT make me cope. Sorry but you can't do anything that helps a person get through the crap sometimes. I understand I grew up in the Bay area and I watched a lot of bands get annoyed hearing the same "YOUR gods". And other things. His voice takes you away to another place sometimes and it is a gift I have flown with my kids and husband all over to see Tool, APC AND PUSIFER. Different things make different people cope. I don't care if it seems stupid or whatever. Music from classical to metal to country to rock. It does something to some of us and that's it. I will never apologize for music making me feel good if only for a while.

    The lyrics of Judith always had a strange sort of duality, like that of an angry child ranting at God for creating him because life hurts.
    You can hear the contradictory nature of his thinking when he accuses God of inflicting his suffering, questions Jesus Christ’s understanding, and then acknowledges “he did it all for you” … and there it is.
    Who is “he?” Christ is the living embodiment of God on earth, and what did he do? He taught, healed, comforted, suffered, he died and “he did it all for you” None of the false gods created by mankind ever did anything even close to that!
    Only the one true God, so loved his children that he came to earth, lived as a commoner among them, taught them, healed them, comforted them, then suffered horrific torment, agony, and death for them, in their name, in their stead, in order that they may be spared torment, agony, and death through him… because that is something that only Almighty God could do.
    but, perhaps the greatest proof that God is indeed Almighty is this… the devil taunts, tempts, challenges, questions, and deceives, but in the end, even the devil praises God.
